1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

To objectively assess aspiration risk with oral feeding during nasal high-flow (NHF) and to correlate NHF rate and presence and depth (degree) of Oropharyngeal Aspiration (OPA). Cross-sectional study. Single-center, Level III, neonatal unit. Infants born preterm (< 37-weeks gestational age [GA]), aged ≥ 35-weeks to 4-weeks corrected gestational age (CGA) at an oral feeding trial, whilst receiving NHF (> 1 L/min), demonstrating oral feeding readiness cues, managing oral secretions, and clinically stable. Participants underwent a clinical feeding evaluation (CFE) and videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS). Aspiration status was determined using the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) on VFSS. Flow rate (L/min), weight-adjusted flow rate (L/kg/min), and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO
